E. A. NORBERG GOLLAPS IBLE SLED Filed Feb. 9,` 1922 @kme may be given to said runners, turning easily in either direction as desired.

It is apparent that all that is necessary to collapse or fold the sled is to unlatch the latch pieces 26 from the slots 27, thereby permitting said support bars 21 and 22 to be folded backward onto the traine uprights 14 and l5 and hand bar 29, folding said seat and hand support or pusher traine back onto the rear end portions of the runners, as shown in Fig, 3, thereby permitting the sled to be supported or suspended by the front cross har which is preferably of steel in order to be strong and of light weight. The user may hang the Jolded sled on his shoulder by said cross bar i12 in order -to carry the sled, or it may be hung out ot' the way by incans of said cross bar, as tor example under his outer coat or hat in the coat room at school.

l. A sled of the class described comprising metal runners having upturned front ends connected by a rigid inetal cross bar` uprigh-ts hinged at their lower ends to said runners and having a hand bar connection at their upper ends and a cross bar attached to said uprights a spaced distance trom said lower ends, seat support bars one to each side hinged to said cross bar in said uprights at their rear ends and removably latching around said rigid cross bar at their lfront ends7 and a seat on said seat support bars. 2.
